Public Health Advocates recommends voting YES on Prop 4. “It’s not enough to ask individuals to be resilient to climate change. We have to make investments that build more resilient communities,” says Abigail Freshley @WeArePHA Full voter guide: phadvocates.org/2024voterguide/


We recommend voting NO on #Prop36. Prop 36 threatens to reverse the progress of Prop 47, which reduced the prison population. Prop 36 is costly, and it won't reduce crime or make communities safer. Full voter guide: phadvocates.org/2024voterguide #NoOnProp36 #PHA2024VoterGuide

We recommend voting NO on #Prop36 Prop 36 is costly, and it won't reduce crime or make communities safer, explains Oussama Mokeddem, Director of State Policy for Public Health Advocates. Full voter guide: phadvocates.org/2024voterguide #NoOnProp36 #PHA2024VoterGuide #prison


Public Health Advocates recommends a YES vote on Prop 6! Forcing people in California prisons to work for no pay is slavery. SLAVERY = BAD. Full voter guide: ow.ly/WvH250TAGHQ #PHA2024VoterGuide #Prop6 #Proposition6

.@WeArePHA recommends a NO vote on Prop 35, stating that it “has significant flaws” and that it “could reduce money in the General Fund for vital safety net programs like CalWORKs and other public health investments”.
